This kind of thing is coming for Android as well once Google has converted it to it's own walled garden bullshit.

remember when Tim Apple gifted tRump a golden statue? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

This is why the web is way better than any app store, yes even with the problems of DNS (DIDs becoming more prevalent cant come fast enough though). Any future phones should have a first class web experience imo.

It's how I browse Lemmy - I sometimes forget that my home-pinned app, Voyager, isn't actually from the app store.

What the fuck is a DIDs?

[–] maximumbird@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I had to look it up too

Apparently it stands for “decentralized identifiers”

From what I’m gathering it’s a client based web protocol That works in conjunction with DNS

Thanks. I'd already be happy with updating/mutable v2 torrents for browsing static websites via hashkey.

the USA Goverment probably forced them to remove it

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

They probably just hinted. These companies are eager to please Trump. Remember the trophy Tim Apple gave Trump? Capitalists love fascism.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 hour ago

oh yeah,makes sense tho

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 hours ago

No, they don't have to. The corporations are the ones who want to control everyone. The U.S government is just a tool for them. The politicians are basically just actors at this point.
